Chapter 119: Offering
After weighing it repeatedly, Beige decided to move the people of several cities, including Fenggang, to a safe place first, so as to minimize the harm of the war to the people. But now in this situation, it is impossible to move the people, not to mention that the troops of Great Chu Xixia are about to arrive, and the troops consumed to cover the evacuation of the people are really impossible to get now, so they have to release the news first and inform the people, so that they can prepare early, so even if this battle is lost, the people will have enough time to flee.
"Lord Wang, if this Fenggang really falls into the hands of Da Chu, I'm afraid there will be no way to get it back" Chu Li said while sorting out the letter for Bei Ge, only Chu Li was the one who followed Bei Ge this time, so the two of them were relatively relaxed when they spoke.
Bei Ge put down the pen in his hand, looked at Chu Li with a smile and said, "You usually don't like to comment on wars, but today is abnormal."
Chu Li continued the work at hand, sighed and continued: "Over the years, I have followed the prince to the north and south, and I have heard a lot and seen a lot, and I know a little more. In the past, the prince fought in the south and the north to protect the people of Dachu, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment, if Fenggang City was really taken back by the people of Dachu, then the prince would be the mouth of the people of the world."
"Why don't we stand up to the leisurely mouth of the people of the world now" The smile on Bei Ge's face looked tired and helpless, put down the pen in his hand, stood up and patted Chu Li's shoulder and said: "You have been by my side for the longest time, Chu Enze father and son, kill my own father, harm my adoptive father, pay the debt of the father and the son, and repay the father's revenge and son, this is fate" After a pause, Bei Ge continued: "You are looking at this Da Chu today, there are no refugees at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but if you look at Yunzhou and Xuzhou, and you look at Muyang again, what kind of life are the people doing?" For the sake of myself and the world, I have to do this."
Chu Li also knew Bei Ge's thoughts, and if he was someone else, just one of them was a reason for rebellion, and now for so long, the prince has always regarded himself as the prince, believing in this Central Plains, understanding that people are self-heating, if there are people who don't understand, they really don't have to understand.
Chu Li had just left with the letter, and there was another secret guard over there to tell him.
"Lord Wang, the commander of Qin said that he had settled down and was waiting for the prince's orders at any time, but Da Chu has increased his forces from both positions at the border of the Yangtze River and the junction of Western Xia" The dark guard wore a black mask on his face, and recounted the information he had obtained from Qin Feng to Beige in detail.
The Northern Singer was holding a detailed map of this place, which was the same as before, or Feng Jiu brought it back, but recently today, a dark guard marked this map in more detail near the Yangtze River, and compared something on the map while listening to what the dark guard said.
"Who is Da Chu leading the troops this time, has the investigation been clear?" Beige asked.
The dark guard nodded, and said cautiously: "Back to the prince, find out, this person's name is Shao Xianzhi, what is the origin is not clear, since the prince left Chujing, this person seems to have suddenly appeared, but he is extremely trusted by the emperor, and he was soon entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and now he is even more named an official and a lord, and this time he is even named 'General of Stability' to lead the troops to attack."
Bei Ge nodded, it is already the limit of the dark guard to be able to find these, after all, investigating this kind of thing is not the secret guard's specialty, after thinking about it, Bei Ge asked again: "How long is it expected that the army will arrive in Fenggang?" ”
The dark guard was stunned in his heart, and said with some heaviness: "Lord Wang, if you follow the current itinerary of the army, you should be able to arrive in three days."
"Three days" Bei Ge muttered, the movements of his hands also stiffened, and he turned around and took out another letter and handed it to the secret guard, saying, "You send this letter back to Muyang as soon as possible and hand it over to the princess yourself."
The dark guard took the letter, looked at Beige's heavy face, and quickly retreated.
The secret guard just went out, and another secret guard came to report at the door: "Lord Wang, General Xue said that there is something to do, and I am anxious to see you at the door", there is no place for a small maid and no maid, and miscellaneous matters such as passing words naturally fell on the body of the original Beige's personal secret guard.
In fact, there are not many real generals in Beige's Chu family army, in the past, the emperor ordered Beige to go on the expedition, and they all arranged their left and right hands on people they trusted, and Beige didn't think much about it, because there has been this tradition in Great Chu since ancient times, plus Beige has won many battles for many years, whether there is a left and right hand is the same, one comes and goes, the generals in the Chu family army Beige have not been intentionally cultivated, and even the General Xue who is now seeking to see is still promoted by Beige last time during actual combat training.
"Let him in" Beige was distracted for a moment and said to the secret guard at the door.
General Xue is nearly fifty years old, he is a veteran of the Chu family's army, and he is very good at siege, which is why Beige promoted him. Although he is nearly half a hundred years old, General Xue is tall and tall, although he is a little thin, but he seems to have a very strong personality, and there is a long scar on his face, coupled with his unsmiling appearance, which makes people look a little angry.
He walked in, bowed deeply, and said: "Lord, this time we are defending the city, the enemy is attacking the city, and the old minister has some opinions of his own, and he wants to talk about the prince."
"I would like to hear the details, and I also ask General Xue to make it clear" Beige is still very respectful to many veterans in the Chu family's army, on the one hand, where is his age, and on the other hand, he has not promoted the Chu family's army for so many years, and he feels a little guilty.
"The prince is serious" General Xue was a little embarrassed in the face of Beige's attitude, and paused and said: "Prince, our current place is called Fenggang, except for the Yangtze River accident in the northwest direction, there are no mountains and seas around, if the enemy attacks the city, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold it for a few days, even if it is carried out, surround us for several days, the people in the city have no food and grass, and we will be trapped to death."
Bei Ge nodded and motioned for General Xue to continue.
"In that case, why don't we give them the city?" General Xue said lightly.
"But the people in the city ......," Bei Ge said halfway, looking at the look on General Xue's face, he knew that he must have thought of this.
"Yes, the people are here, according to the character of the prince, he will definitely swear to protect these people, this is the enemy's weakness in seeing, if we make good use of our shortcomings, we will not be an anti-general," General Xue explained.
Beige's interest was suddenly raised, and the corners of his mouth also brought a little smile. I seemed to be able to understand what General Xue meant, but I felt that General Xue had already thought of a plan, so I still asked very humbly: "Please also ask General Xue to understand."
